    1. The best time to decouple from fossil fuels was 1973. Today is also a very good time.
    2. Israel’s attack on a gas field was reckless, an open provocation, and didn’t serve the interests of America or the world
    3. You’d think Saudi Arabia has enough pull with the US Government to get this all to stop before fossil fuel infrastructure is permanently destroyed at a massive scale

      1. The longer global energy systems remain tied to centralized fossil fuel infrastructure, the more they become high-value, low-resilience targets—economically and militarily—inviting escalation and systemic shocks.
      2. Markets alone won’t unwind that risk fast enough; without coordinated policy and investment, capital keeps flowing into assets that are profitable short-term but increasingly fragile under geopolitical stress.
      3. A rapid shift toward distributed, electrified, and renewable energy systems isn’t just climate policy anymore—it’s a hard security strategy aimed at reducing choke points, stabilizing supply, and lowering the incentive for conflict over fuel assets.
